Optic pathway gliomas in children can involve the optic nerve, chiasm, and hypothalamus. This uncommon, slowly growing tumor can cause hydrocephalus, which usually requires placement of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Symptomatic ascites may occasionally develop as a complication of the VP shunt procedure. The purpose of this study was to assess the risk factors associated with CSF ascites in children with optic pathway gliomas.
